Hello.... My first post in a thread other than the rustler zone. I'm new to rc but have been learning tons and researching a lot in the last couple months. Thought my question would fit in perfect here! I'm very curious why a very large company such as Traxxas doesn't have any 1/8-1/10 race buggies? Is that not the most popular, oldest, form of rc? It seems other companies focus mainly on them, and little on other models. I know there's the bandit... but it's very similar to the rustler no?

Anyone have an answer to this? Is that the next big thing, a jump into that market? Keep in mind I dont know the past traxxas and if they ever were competitive in the buggy genre.

Hi, I have not visited for a while and I become curious and interested about this post "the next big thing". I am excited also to know again about Traxxas new announcement. I believe that it is another piece of an added important information for me.

Traxxas likes to do their "Big reveals" and is usually very quiet about any future models.....

Perhaps this is clearer:
I have NEVER seen a Traxxas reply to a question about any potential upcoming model, no matter in which subforum it is asked. Traxxas starts the threads with an announcement, it does not reply to threads such as this.

My vote for the next new vehicle a mini E-Maxx! with twin 370 motors and crazy suspension like the original. would have to be built from the ground up with its own new platform. it would definitely be added to my collection.

I would love for traxxas to make nice and affordable buggy and truggy, both nitro and elec. i would also really like if traxxas made more tire and rim selections, mainly tires. more servos and another nitro engine! the 3.3 eats through bearings its ok though,..i put ceramics in both of my 3.3s

I think traxxas should make a 1/10 scale brushless drifter. After all there are only a few onroad bred traxxas cars. I love off-roading but drifting would be a blast! Comment on what your thoughts are on this

In my opinion, Traxxas could make a big move by creating a backyard track timing system. Make a Traxxas lap timing system affordable and RC customers that don't have access to or don't want to go to official race venues will be interested.

It would be awesome if Traxxas made a 1:10 Trophy Truck. I think it would be way better than the Slash, better suspension, swing arms... and the plus to it is Traxxas would gain more fans and Buyers. This would also create a new endless possibility for further Vehicles.

+1 to that, I just got done dumping a whole lot of money on two 2wd slashes for my cousin and I! (Brushless versions of course!) We've got a small oval type track with two jumps for now but we plan on making another one soon just gotta draw up some plans and get the bobcat running. If something like this was available, especially by Traxxas I would for sure be looking into it. Great idea!
